Abstract: A paint manufacturing system includes a paint component storage system in fluid communication with a dispenser. A computer system is operatively coupled to the dispenser through the paint component storage system. The paint component storage system flows a desired amount of at least two paint components to the dispenser in response to a paint type indication provided to the computer system. An internet may be in communication with the computer system. Alternatively, the paint manufacturing system may be configured so as to be available twenty four hours, seven days a week, dispensing paint at the time of purchase. In additional embodiments, a second computer system may be coupled to a plurality of paint manufacturing systems in order to allow large orders to be divided among multiple systems.
